Biologist Dr Sophie Fern joins Kathryn to look at two recent studies - one that focused on over 14,600 conservation projects over a quarter of a century to find where conservation funding has mainly gone.
So which animals or plants attract funding - and which get left behind?
Another study looked at what's preying on our native frogs - with rather an icky way of finding out!
Dr Sophie Fern is a biologist specialising in conservation and natural history
